I don't know that mine performs any different. I have gotten many compliments on the looks though. It is always something you can take off down the road if you want also.
Some people say their fuel gauges were off after the install of one. Sure mine is by a bit but I don't like to run on fumes so it just makes me fill up a few miles earlier than I would have anyway.
If you are going to purchase one I would recommend DK Custom's kit. They always make good stuff. I made my own and did do a small thread on it. Wish I would have taken more pictures and went into more detail.
If you do want to go the DIY route it is really easy, and if you have questions feel free to ask me!

It was a 2" that I made for about 5 bucks. Did not need a new crossover hose.
I bought 2 of these at 2"
You keep the flat part and can toss the rest.
Then rough up the flat part and paint it whatever color you would like. (I did flat black).
I was able to reuse the bolt that was there for the lower mount. Then 2 5/16" bolts for the top.
It would've been nice to have an extra set of hands to make it a bit easier but I did it by myself. Once I cut the zip tie that held a fuel line to the neck it took probably 10 - 15 minutes to do.

how is this holding up? does it move around? i could do this to see if i like the look before committing to a super sturdy version.
either way, GOOD MAN!

How is your DIY set up working out? Still holding strong? Id rather spend 4 dollars then 40....you DIDNT have to replace the crossover tube?

did you change out the bars on your FXDL? If not that new 2 way adjustment riser blocks the 2" tank lift . I'm swapping mine out this winter
